Hello thank you for reading my profile.I have a special gift from God that has allowed me to enjoy and love all children no matters their needs.I found very special children working with Autistic and Fragile x and several different disabilities.I have worked as personal asst in homes taking children to their Dr appts activities after school dance cheerleading camps etc.I have lived a full life with so many wonderful experiences with children.I am still very close to several families i have worked with and for.I do overnight care as well as weekend care so it is nice that families no and trust me.I love animals i have had several kinds over the years and love them all.I love being in the outdoors watching the wildlife and all the world has to offer us as Gods creatures.I do not mind helping out around the house or whatever i can do Read more to help take the stress off just everyday life.I am very easy going and laid back but i know when discipline needs to be done.I do not believe in putting my hands on another person's child if you chose to that is your child or children to do so.I do time out and take privileges away or whatever the parent would like to be done.I usually do not have many problems though.I enjoy feeling like part of the family because i do my best to always make everyone feel comfortable and safe at all times.I have been on Care.Com for 8 yrs and i have been very blessed to have found several wonderful families over the years.My longest job on that site was close to 3 yrs but my son was in the hospital for a good while.But i still care for them on a as needed basis.I could not consider in doing any other type of job but this because i do enjoy it.I have more patience than most but you can not be in this type of work unless you do.I am very happy with what i do.I respect others as people respect me.If you have any questions i am always happy to answer them.I always have a updated background check and Cpr if u want a more detailed one i can give you more information. Thank You Tonja Gossett
